problem with abit bd7

hi
i ordered this board ABIT BD7 after reading lots of good reviews for it, then as soon as the order was placed i find that a lot of people are having a post problem with the board.

i recieved my board today and have just set it up using all brand new components which are

abit bd7
1.8a
2*256 ddram crucial unbuffered
60 gb seagate barracuda 4
fortissimo 2 sound card
56i pro diamond supraexpress
samsung dvd rom
sony floppy
chieftec 340 wat p4 ready case

already had these parts
liteon cdrw 24/*10*40
radeon 8500 retail (i know this works as ive just taken it out of my previous pc)

i have installed all the parts and went to turn it on, but there are no beeps, the error code is reading 00 and a message on the monitor reads no sync input

does any one know if this is the boot posting problem or something different.
i have tried to turn on the pc with just cpu, memory and graphics card installed and still cant post

any ideas??

thanks

Ummmmmm.... My guess is that it needs its lastest bios flash to read those Northwood.

Also try posting in Intel Motherboards > Abit boards, you'll get better reponses.
